I live in a pretty small town and there aren't too many options (actually, there aren't any options) for prenatal exercise classes. I was wondering if anyone could suggest some good DVDs. Please help, I can't stand not getting some exercise, especially since I am so used to dancing two hours every night!
Summer Sander's Prenatal Workout- Divided into 3 trimesters. Each workout uses the identical format: an extended warm-up, a mix of varied (mostly standing) exercises and a long, soothing stretch. About 40 minutes. (loved this one)

I second the suggesion on Summer Sanders' DVD - you can find it on Amazon. I LOVE this DVD. It makes me feel a lot less pregnant. I haven't really had any back pain yet at almost 6 months and I think it's a combination of this DVD and prenatal yoga at the Y.
Re: Workout DVD Suggestions?
these were my favorites.
yoga:
Element: Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga- Elena Brower. 30 minutes prenatal yoga practice
Crunch Yoga Mama-Sue Elkind. 40 Minute prenatal yoga practice.
Prenatal Yoga- Shiva Rea. 60 minute prenatal yoga DVD. (a little slow, great for the end)
Denise Austin: Fit & Firm Pregnancy-20 minute cardio, 20 minute toning.

I did a prenatal yoga dvd- I'm not sure what it's called, it was just something I picked up at Target.
But... why can't you dance anymore?
